Mr. Hall brings 25 years of defence sector experience, strengthening AECOM’s growing defence team
LONDON (21 November 2025) – AECOM, the trusted global infrastructure leader, today announced it has appointed Graham Hall as Client Director, Defence, UK & Europe. Mr. Hall will be responsible for maintaining and developing strategic relationships with clients such as the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD). A former Commissioned Officer in the Royal Navy with a 17-year service career and 8 years in industry, his appointment follows the announcement of Ed Robinson as AECOM’s new Head of Defence for UK, Europe and India in September.
Mr Hall began his career in the Royal Navy, where he served in a wide variety of operational theatres and supported frontline operations from both UK Headquarters and the Ministry of Defence. He then joined a global engineering consultancy where, among other roles, he was Framework & Programme Director across its security, energy and technology markets, leading multimillion pound portfolios for major defence infrastructure and equipment clients.
“We’re delighted to welcome Graham Hall to AECOM,” said Ed Robinson, Head of Defence, UK, Europe and India. “He joins us at a pivotal time for the defence sector, which is undergoing significant transformation and investment.
